Variations in the nature and extent of southern Africa's winter rainfall zone (WRZ) have the
potential to provide important information concerning the nature of long-term climate change …

We here review what is known about the dunefields and fluvial systems of the Kalahari
Basin in terms of geological setting and Quaternary dynamics and set out what has been …

Untitled Page 1 Page 2 GEOMORPHOLOGY OF DESERT DUNES Sand dunes cover up to a
quarter of many desert regions. Determining the factors that determine their shape, size and …

We synthesize African paleoclimate from 150 to 30 ka (thousand years ago) using 85
diverse datasets at a regional scale, testing for coherence with North Atlantic …

The terrigenous fraction of sediments recovered from Walvis Ridge, SE Atlantic Ocean,
reveals a history of southwestern African climate of the last 300 kyr. End-member modelling …

Background A central question in the evolutionary diversification of large, widespread,
mobile mammals is how substantial differentiation can arise, particularly in the absence of …

As a basic form of pattern analysis, the parameters of dune spacing, defect density, crest
orientation and crest length are measured from remote images and treated statistically for …

The Kalahari basin formed as a response to down-warp of the interior of the southern Africa,
probably in the Late Cretaceous. The down-warp, along with possible uplift along …

This study investigates the petrographic, mineralogical, geochronological, and geochemical
signatures of river sands across southern Africa. We single out the several factors that …

In the present article we review applications of luminescence methods for the determination
of the age of sediments for Quaternary Earth science.“Sediment” is taken to include any …
